1995 Chrysler Concorde 3.7 from North America

Summary:

Beautiful car, rides smooth when you can get it on the road

Faults:

They had put a new engine in the car before we bought it.

Driver's seat had to be fixed, stayed in a layed back position.

Passenger side brake caliper bracket stripped out, letting the bolt come loose, and the caliper to flop around. Could only get the part from the dealer, which cost $154. (Had to buy the whole control arm.)

The heater/ac unit keeps turning itself on. Have to keep hitting the off button. It's get pretty aggravating to have to constantly hit the off button while driving down the road.

Driver side window won't roll up sometimes. Have to punch the door to get it to go up.

General Comments:

It's a beautiful car, with lots of extras. The inside is like a dream.

If you only wanted to sit in it, it would be the perfect car. I will go back to Chevrolets income tax time. If this car makes it till then, it will be traded in on a good old Chevy. And I will never, ever buy another Chrysler again.

1995 Chrysler Concorde 3.3 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

By the time the car had 36,000 miles on it, I had a 29 page repair history. As time went on, the list only got longer. It includes:

Three transmissions at 40,000 miles, 42,000 miles and 65,000 miles.

Three rack and pinions.

Four power steering pumps.

Three computers (ECMs)

Caught fire twice.

...and too many other things to list.

General Comments:

The Chrysler Concorde is one of the sharpest family cars to come out of the 1990s and has fantastic comfort features, but it's reliability lacks a lot to be desired. If anyone is considering a Chrysler product, think twice before you buy.

I too have a 97 Chrysler Intrepid... It handles like a dream, its the best car I ever owned. This car is the best car in its class.. with 225 hp, its the best thing Chrysler ever made. I think people who think Chrysler's are bad cars, are crazy.

That's too bad you had too replace the transmission three times. I have owned chryslers for the past 20 years and never had any of these problems. You are either have the worst luck in the world or you don't perform regular maintenance.
